The Solution Set

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite missing some context, the output we could get as result of an expression/equation it is what we call a Solution set. A set which makes the initial statement of equation/expression true, therefore valid.

Therefore, the elements of the Solution set, 3 and 4 when plugged into the equation make the statement of the quadratic equation true.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
